I Couldn't Resist!

I confess, I have no excuse! My little baby girl, Lily, has more clothes given to her than she could possibly wear in a month, but I just had to buy her a new outfit.

I was buying baby clothes for two different ladies who were having boys, when I let my eyes wander to the baby girl racks. Oh, I usually don't even let myself go there. My eyes caught this adorable long-sleeved, layered flower top with these tiny corduroy (sp?) brown pants with a little pink button on the bottom. If you know me, I LOVE color combinations. It is kind of a sickness of mine. I am the child who used to eat all the lucky charms out of my bowl, but save two different colors to see how they would look together. Every morning, would be a different combination. I know, I'm weird! I think that is why I like to scrapbook and make cards. I get to play with COLORS!!! LOL! Anyway....I saw these colors and saw that it was on sale, so I had a weak moment.

Isn't she cute? She is sitting up and starting to crawl now and is delighting all of us with her antics. Oh, I forgot how much fun they are at this stage. It truly is one of my favorite stages of babyhood. They are so tiny still, but they are getting a little personality.

On the home front, Steve was hunting with two older ones yesterday and it started snowing! Come again? Yeah, I said SNOW! I couldn't believe it. They came home shivering without a deer. He has seen only does so far, no bucks. I'm kind of glad, because if he did get a deer, I don't know where we would put it. Our freezer is stuffed with half a beef and a whole pig! Praise the Lord!

I'm looking forward to getting back in the routine of homeschooling. The boys have been hunting with their father lately, so it's been on and off. It's been nice having a break, but now I'm ready to buckle down again. Tonight, I am planning on giving them a culture lesson. We are going to go see the African Children's Choir! I saw them a few years back and was overwhelmed with love and joy for these orphans. I am going to take Josh, Marcus, Jessica and Andrew. I think they will all love it!

Yes, she is darling in her 'colors' of your choice. It is wonderful that you have so many things for her to wear already, but did you get to chose them? So, you've gotten to chose something for you that suits you too! Our routines and schedules are SO important, keep it up now that your 'men' are home.

Wow, what a cutie! Growing up there were six kids in my family. That's a lot of work for you, isn't it? Thanks for stopping by my blog. It means a lot to me and I really enjoy meeting new people this way.God bless you!Melissa

That outfit is absolutely ADORABLE!!!! I love when I get the kids a new outfit and it looks so good!!! I really miss having kids at that stage give her a hug and kiss for me. Have fun at the concert tonight it sounds like it will be cool!!!

Snowing? Actually I've been hearing about a lot of areas getting snow already. It's like winter just decided to skip fall altogether.

Even here in California we had a major rain storm that rained from early morning until 5pm and it flooded the parking lot at the school where I work and almost came into the preschool. We had to call parents to come and get their kids, it was awful. Then today back to normal! Well, not exactly normal but much better than yesterday.

Some Beautiful Quotes on Motherhood

The noblest calling in the world is that of a mother. True motherhood is the most beautiful of all arts, the greatest of all professions. She who can paint a masterpiece or who can write a book that will influence millions deserves the plaudits and admiration of mankind; but she who rears successfully a family of healthy, beautiful sons and daughters whose immortal souls will be exerting an influence throughout the ages long after paintings shall have faded, and books and statues shall have been destroyed, deserves the highest honor that man can give.-David O. McKayMotherhood is the one thing in all the world which most truly exemplifies the God-given virtues of creating and sacrficing. Though it carries the woman close to the brink of death, motherhood also leads her into the very realm of the fountians of life and makes her co-partner with the Creator in bestowing upon eternal spirits mortal life.-David O McKayWe can't form our children on our own concepts; we must take them and love them as God gives them to us. -Johann Wolfgang von GoetheLo, children are a heritage of the Lord; and the fruit of the womb is his reward.-Psalm 127:3The mother's heart is the child's schoolroom-Henry Ward BeecherThe art of mothering is to teach the art of living to children.-Elaine HeffnerPeople who say they sleep like babies usually don't have them.-Leo J. Burke

To be a mother is a woman's greatest vocation in life. She is a partner with God. No being has a position of such power and influence. She holds in her hands the destiny of nations, for to her comes the responsibility and opportunity of molding the nation's citizens. -Spencer W. Kimball
